Invitation to Join the Fruit and Vegetable Growers Association of Delaware

As the new Extension Vegetable and Fruit Specialist for the University of Delaware, I encourage you to consider joining the Fruit and Vegetable Growers Association of Delaware. I have just developed a new website for the group.

• Winter educational meetings and educational programs throughout the year.

• Promotional materials for use by member farms (such as recipes)

• Promotion of the industry and farms at events throughout the state.

• Voice in legislative activities and input into regulations affecting the industry.

• Programs that can help produce businesses such as “Farm to School”

• Training programs such as Produce Food Safety

and much more…

Members of the Fruit and Vegetable Growers Association of Delaware are very diverse – from market gardeners selling at nearby farmers markets to grower-shippers who supply supermarkets throughout the east; from farms offering Community Supported Agriculture subscriptions to nearby families to processing vegetable growers providing regional freezing and canning plants with tons of raw product that will be sold throughout the country.
